Mission Statement

The mission of Animal Outreach of Shelby County is to help reduce the killing at the Shelbyville Shelby County Animal Shelter by encouraging responsible pet ownership, promoting spay/neuter programs, and implementing trap/neuter/return (TNR) as a humane solution to the growing stray and feral cat population.

How do we do this?

Implement trap/neuter/return (TNR) as a humane solution to the growing stray and feral cat population:

providing information and education to the community about humane colony management;

loaning traps to colony caretakers;

developing a food bank for registered colonies; and

facilitating low-cost and free sterilization and vaccination of feral cats.
